stab in the dark

i'll take a stab in the dark
that i don't know your real name
it got lost in conversation
the night that you placed the blame
on me for all the shit you said
and tried to make me break
down and apologize
for the facts you couldn't face

i'll take a stab in the dark
that you're not even home
even though you told me
you needed time to be alone
i put your picture face down
rather than stare at vacant eyes
one by one the lines are drawn
as i tally up your lies

i've got thoughts
swimming in my head
and soon enough
one of us'll wind up dead
you said to me
"it's about what you learn"
well i've learned my lesson
and i think that now it's your turn

i'll take a stab in the dark
and hope you end up on the floor
put you out of my misery
and deal with you no more
took your picture in my hand
and drew x's on your eyes
one by one the lines are crossed
soon spelling your demise

i've got thoughts
swimming in my head
and soon enough
one of us'll wind up dead
you said to me
"it's about what you learn"
well i've learned my lesson
and i think that now it's your turn

Wow. All I can say is wow. You NEED to record this song and put it on the CM now.

I also like the subtle Alkaline Trio influences in there.

Post your stuff on here. Either people will like it or will tell you certain things to change to make it sound better. Either way, it's worth it.
